Warriors of the Elements: The Meeting

[RangerAidan]

Not before this a-hole talks
Ben said, strapping on his swords and taking the blinded man by the collar.
So
He said, putting the barrel of the AK under the man's chin
Who do you work for? That's one heavy-ass hammer you grabbed a little too easily.

[MC43]

Mark dropped his head, "We have to go... now!"

"No chance..." The vendor said, "You have already fallen under the trap."

Mark walked up to the vendor, all the gaurds now crying non-stop, or knocked out. "What do you mean?"

"Heh... this battle has already been won. There is nothing that you can do."

"I can break your jaw is what I can do."

"How will that help your elemantal friend?" He smirked. "Oh... and by the way..." He threw a hook at Ben, connecting, "I can break jaws too." He laughed and started running out the door.

However, Mark got in his way and grabbed him by the collar, "You think you can run that easily?"

"You don't seem to get it... do you!?" Throwing his fist into Mark's stomach. But he didn't flinch, "What? How did you? I have the power of earth... He gave it..."

"He gave it to me..." As Mark threw his own hook into the vendor's body, "All right... now talk!"

The vendor was now crumpled on the ground, gasping and coughing for air. "Never... I shall never talk!" Mark kicked him in the ribs, the sound of a cracking bone came out.

Note to self... don't hit hard. "Oh no... you will! Who gave you you're powers?"

"All right... just don't hit me again..." he lifted his arm weakly, signaling him to stop. "It was..." But he stopped talking. his eyes widened and he grabbed his throat, and started gagging on something. Mark took a step back as ne noticed the vendor coughing up little pebbles.

"Are you choking... on a rock?" The vendor look up with weak eyes, then fell limp on the ground. Mark knelt down and felt his throat, noticing there was a large lump in it. "Yeah... he did." Mark got a worried look on his face." If this happened to him... Will it...?"

"If I decide to..." A deep bellowing voice came from nowhere.

[RangerAidan]

Rrubbing his face where the vendor had hit him, Ben dropped the AK and put his hands on his sword handles as the voice spoke
Who the....?

[Psi_Zeta]

Gerado finally emerged out to the shadows slightly perturbed. "Another with the power of earth?" He found his gloves and placed them on quickly and extrended the blade.

[Flarecobra]

Alex took out her whip, thinking to herself <Damn I'm glad I practiced with this thing.>

[batgirl]

Ariella was holding her kammas, "maybe we should keep these out and forgo the use of tact? We are going to fight some sort of big bad elemental. Not frightening the locals isn't very high on my list."

[MC43]

Mark was the first outside, looking around for some kind of owner of the voice. "Where are you?"

"I'm not around... and yet I'm everywhere."

"Stop with the riddles! Show yourself!"

"I will not..."

Mark sighed. "Damn you!! Don't make me..." but his voice was cut off as something formed in his thoat. He gripped it, but to no avail.

"I will do it... Do not force me."

Mark fought for air, but the rock inside would not allow any air to pass through. The rock grew larger in his neck, it felt like it would soon burst. He was just to let out a scream when the rock soon disappeared. Mark gasped for breath.

I have saved you this time... but I will not always be there for you. You have to learn to control it.

[i]Petra... you're kidding right?"

The voice boomed again, "I see you have Petra on your side. Interesting. They choose to bring humans into this war? How backed into a corner are they?"

Mark forced his head up to see someone... something... floating in the air. It looked to be a man, but his face was distorted, one side of it anyway. He wore black, all black. Shirt, pants, boots, and a cape that covered him. He looked like some kind of vampire. He laughed and disappeared from sight. "The war is not yet over..."

[Psi_Zeta]

He ran out after Mark to see what was the matter. He saw the man materialize in front of him and stared. There was somethign about him that chilled him to the bone yet fascinated him so.

[Flarecobra]

"Well, all of these bullets, I'm sure with a little string we could make wuite a distraction." Alex suggested as they were heading outside, however the rest trailed off when she saw the apperation. When it vanished, she said "Ok, what the hell was that?"

[MC43]

OOC: Hey... I've been gone for a couple days, and nothing happens?

Mark took a few deep breaths, then looked up towards the group. "I have no idea, but he has the ability to control earth, just like Petra. Whatever this thing is... it's not good. It must have the elements at its disposal." He took another deep breath, one to get some more oxygen in his lungs, one because of the near death expirence he just had. "C'mon. We have to figure out where it went, and how it's beating up... Wind."

He thought for a momentr. "Wait a sec... this is like any common RPG. One element will beat another. So that would mean... Earth would beat air... right?" He looked towards his friends, hoping for some kind of answer.
